repositories for the rest of us

2007/05/03: RDA/DCMI working together

Karen Coyle interviews Diane Hillman about the outcomes of a recent meeting between the editor of RDA, some members of the Joint Steering Committee for the Revision of RDA,* and other stakeholders.

Diane Hillman has been a tireless champion encouraging the JSC to work with other metadata communities to develop RDA.

The RDA/DCMI collaboration will include an RDA application profile for DC and a formal element vocabulary. An controlled yet extensible element vocabulary is necessary for describing carriers as per the revised chapter Ch.3 of RDA. No, I haven't forgotten to write up my notes on that, btw. With any luck, I should get to that today!

*note the new name! for those of you not in the know, the JSC used to be for the revision of AACR

rep4rest is a ranty personal blog about repositories in the broadest possible sense. I dabble in a bunch of things library and librarian-related. The "...rest of us" is just alliteration.
